Yep. Anything else is asking for trouble:
Negative: SPF adopters become targets for joe-jobs
Zero: SPF adopters have nothing to fear
Positive: SPF adopters become persecuted by antispam bots
Personally I think it would be unfortunate if Mail::SPF::Query offered the
ability to differentiate between "unknown" and "no spf record" right out of
the box.
People will tend to fiddle with settings and put in different treatments
simply because they can. ie: it will only encourage people to harm SPF
adopters out of ignorance.
It would be better for SPF in the long run if Mail::SPF::Query and all other
implementations restricted this ability only to people who can be bothered to
hack the code, ie: very few.
Perhaps this should be in the spec as a requirement for 'SPF-compatible' MTAs?
